Replica for training made of solid wood

[Micky8]

Hello,

I am looking for the source of this Rifle Replica. It's not an airsoft gun and it doesn't have any barrel, just plain wood with metal accessories.
I am not sure it's manufactured in bulk or from recent years, but if anyone has any idea...
Thanks

Any writing or stamps on it? Can you post pictures of the top of the receiver?

Stage prop? Over ambitious dad making the boy a front yard 'war' toy? (not that kids do that anymore). Possibly a parade 'rifle' for some 'nanner republic?

I don't have any more picture than that. Been sent to me by a friend who would like to get the same.
Maybe Iron Bender is right... possibly a custom made but I doubt. Was purchased by a government originally.

My money is on some kind of drill or presentation rifle used where even a deactivated gun would be problematic. I could see some university ROTC using that, for example.

Do you have any idea what government used it?

Not American ROTC or high school ROTC (Royal Order of Toilet Cleaners). There was a toy firm that made replica M1903 Springfields for honor guards/drill teams.
